Gurwitz Silver Medal pianist Tatiana Dorokhova joins the Symphony of the Hills Thursday at the Cailloux Theater for a program anchored by one of the 20th century’s most celebrated piano concertos.

The concert begins at 7 p.m. at the Cailloux Theater, 910 Main St. Ticket holders are invited to a wine reception at 6 p.m., with a string ensemble from the Hill Country Youth Orchestra performing in the lobby before the show.

Dorokhova, a Russian-born pianist who won the Audience Favorite Award at the Gurwitz International Piano Competition, will perform Prokofiev’s Third Piano Concerto. She describes the work as a showcase of the composer’s full range.

“Some themes are eccentric and sharp, others are deeply beautiful and poetic,” Dorokhova said. “I hope the audience will experience the wit, the fantasy, the lyricism, and the powerful energy, all within a single piece.”

Also on the program are Joan Tower’s Fanfare for the Uncommon Woman No. 6 and Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition.

Dorokhova has spoken about what draws her to live performance over recordings.

“At a live concert, you witness the creation of a moment that will never happen in exactly the same way again,” she said. “You cannot pause it, skip it, or replay it. You are fully present and that makes you feel truly alive.”
